A group of 19 Spanish tourists recently visited the Kurdistan Region with the Kurdish Visit Tour Company.

The tourists, who stayed in the region for just under a week, visited a number of areas including the capital Erbil and Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan’s ‘capital of culture’.

The Kurdish Board of Tourism spokesperson Nadr Rosti said: “They [the tourists] were impressed by the beauty and development of the Kurdistan Region as well as Kurdish Culture. At the same time, they had some concerns about lack of services and untidiness in some areas.”

This is the third tourists group this year to visit the Kurdistan Region with the Visit Tour Company.
